Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is in slope intercept form.

The form is y=mx+b

This is where "m" is the slope, and "b" is the y intercept.

So in this equation, m=-3.

Therefore, the slope is -3.

A bus is travelli ng with the velo ci ty of 60 km/hr . Pressin g the bra kes sud denly, it is reta rde d to 0.05 m/s2 . How fa r

solong [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial velocity(u) = 60 km/hr = 50/3 m/s

final velocity(v)= 0 (stops at rest)

acceleration(a) = -0.05 m/s²

display (s)=?

v²-u²=2as

0²- (50/3)= 2(-0.05)s

2500/9= 0.1s

s= 25000/9 m

A mechanic charged $220.28 to repair a car. The price included charges for 3 hours of labor and $126.53 for parts. How much does

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

$31.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up an equation.

$220. 28 - total

$126.53 - cost for parts

3 - # of hours

? - price per hour

3h + $126.53 = $220.28

Subtract $126.53 from both sides.

3h = $93.75

Divide by 3.

h = $31.25

The mechanic charges $31.25 per hour for labor.

Hope that helps.

Mr. Martin bought a microwave that was originally priced $225. He received a 30% discount. What is the sale price of the microwa

maw [93]

I have a simple but slightly time consuming way of doing this. Find 30% of 100 double it and then find 30% of 25, add the two together... In this case 60 + 7.5. After you do that subtract that number from 225. So subtract 67.5 from 225 and there is your answer. Your answer is 157.5

Let x be the amount of time (in minutes) that a particular San Francisco commuter must wait for a BART train. Suppose that the d

Answer:

a) $P(X$

$P(X>14) = 1-P(X$

b) $P(7< X$

c) We want to find a value c who satisfy this condition:

$P(x$

And using the cumulative distribution function we have this:

$P(x$

And solving for c we got:

$c = 20*0.9 = 18$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X as he amount of time (in minutes) that a particular San Francisco commuter must wait for a BART train, and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim Unif (a=0, b =20)$

Part a

We want this probability:

$P(X$

And for this case we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

$F(x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a} = \frac{x-0}{20-0}= \frac{x}{20}$

And using the cumulative distribution function we got:

$P(X$

For the probability $P(X>14)$ if we use the cumulative distribution function and the complement rule we got:

$P(X>14) = 1-P(X$

Part b

We want this probability:

$P(7< X$

And using the cdf we got:

$P(7< X$

Part c

We want to find a value c who satisfy this condition:

$P(x$

And using the cumulative distribution function we have this:

$P(x$

And solving for c we got:

$c = 20*0.9 = 18$
